I know we're a couple of months late on reviewing this
one but it had to be covered being that it could be
considered the best compilation of 2002 and as we both
know, there are a lot of them out there. Mille Platueax
has release volume 3 of this highly acclaimed and notable
series of recordings based on what some may call "mistakes"
but more accurately would be described as well.... clicks
and cuts sequenced together to form the spine of the
track. Volume 3 represents where the artists have taken
this sound since the start and it sounds as if many
have ventured in various directions including Andreas
Tilliander and his love of hip-hop and Vladislav Delay's
Luomo house project that have kept things moving along
by adapting new software and an open-minded musical
approach. I think the whole concept behind the compilation
could really be put to rest since the studio techniques
of using slivers of sound are commonplace. The attention
should really be put on this particular group of artists
because of the way they incorporate highly refreshing
sound design and programming and work it in the clicky
framework. They've simply created innovative music that
holds it's own ground regardless of the concept or gadgets
behind it. I haven't been able to take it out of the
player for weeks. -JH
